Eric Fingerhut on Environment

Bring both new jobs and a cleaner environment

Future generations deserve to inherit the cleanest environment we can provide. Economic development does not have to come at the expense of our environment; we do not have to choose between dirty air or dirty water and jobs.˙
Ohio and the nation need policies that will bring both new jobs and a cleaner environment.˙This is achievable if our leaders would stop fighting yesterday's battles and start focusing on the future.˙
